You can delete the core files, but you should also try to find out why the are created. If you use rsync, you can exclude these core files from being rsync'd
.. and you can check "why they crashed" with

# If one of the Hobbit tools crashes and leaves a core-file (usually in the ~hobbit/server/tmp/ directory), please use the gdb tool to pinpoint where the crash occurred:
* Login as the Hobbit user
* $ cd ~/server
$ gdb bin/PROGRAMFILE tmp/COREFILE
then at the gdb> prompt, execute the command
gdb> bt
